Dish Network Sizzling Specials 2007-08-25 10:44:27
My eyes almost popped out when I saw these attractive ‘giveaways’ at a Dish Network TV website. Get either a FREE iPod, $50 Visa Gift Card, Portable DVD Player, Home Theater System or DVD Player PLUS $75 cash back when you sign up for Dish Network Satellite TV before the 31 August 2007. Well, if you think that for $19.95 a month is too much, you don’t know what you are missing out. When I told my hubby about this fantastic offer, he shook his head in unbelief because Dish TV cost much more in many countries and they don’t even offer these special perks.

style it with ear pins 2007-08-25 04:46:38 Does your guy complain about the amount of accessories, jewelry, make up, fragrances, shoes, bags and clothing you have? Mine do. We were walking around after lunch in a mall and I stopped by to look at a pair of Marc Jacobs shades. He walked up to me and commented that I had too many pairs of shades and that was a hint that I should not looked further
Well, men just don’t understand that we women need retail therapy to keep us sane! LOL. Women are never tired of another new pair of shoes, a new bag or a new ring, necklace or earrings. I know of friends who change earrings or ear pins to match their clothing, then complement is it with matching necklace or bracelet. I’m a little slack when it comes to constant changing so I prefer to wear jewelry that can look good for everyday use, unless on special occasions. Have a look at Solisa Jewelry if you are shopping for ear pins. It has a HUGE collection of ear pins and earrings, crafted in either gold or silver. The prices ar

Last week, the stock market took a plunge and there were lots of movements and transactions in the trading scene. DH saw it as an opportunity to embark on some crisis investment and was actively trading on the local and US markets.

seek expert advice 2007-08-24 19:57:07 You know, I’m not against cosmetic or plastic surgery but I do believe that any one who plans to go through a procedure that requires surgery should seek expert advice and does enough research first. There are lots of women who have gone for breast enlargement procedures without conducting proper research and as a result, were not prepared for risks and consequences. We all do things in the name of vanity from time to time but let’s take time to seek expert advice before doing any drastic thing to our body and lives. Just my word of advice…

As if I have not enough of those attractive, trendy, hip and chic sterling silver jewelry from Shop4silver but I can’t help it! This Millacreli Murano glass ring is so pretty. I bet my girl friend, Tracy, will adore this too! Just look at the delicate flower details on the top of the ring and the colour combination is stunning. Besides, you save so much at shopforsilver. It’s retailing at $128 but the online store offers it at a discounted price of $85.50 - that’s more than $30 savings!! I’m so glad that I’ve found a great site for fashionable Murano glass jewelry. Now I have to convince them to mail it overseas Read more:murano
sterling silver at its best 2007-08-24 08:27:06
My excitement grew as I navigate through the pages of lovely sterling silver jewelry at Shop4silver.com.
A sweet pink background sets the theme of this cool site with nicely drawn illustrations of women in different fashion styles at the left sidebar. I appreciate the categories clearly organized in styles, brands and types and it makes it so easy to find what you want. Being a fan of Murano glass, I can’t wait to see the selections at Shop for Silver. I must tell you that the Murano jewelry in this store are the most beautiful I have ever seen. Not only are they creative but unique and tasteful. It is hard not to list down my favourites as there are too many nice things in the store! (more…)
lucky you! 2007-08-24 04:50:52 I believe this may be a familiar brand to free spirited individuals or lovers of jeans and denim. After reading the start up story of creators of Lucky Brand Jeans, Gene Montesano and Barry Perlman, I am filled with admiration for these two guys who stick to their dreams of launching a label that stands for great quality and good humour.

soothe the itch 2007-08-24 03:38:10 Are you one of those who travel with a mini first aid in your luggage? Well, I don’t exactly do that but I am equipped with anti bacterial ointment, tea tree oil (which is a strong antiseptic) and a mozzie repeller. Since I have sensitive skin and am allergic to bug bites and other sensitivities, I am careful to have these quick and effective first aids in my handbag.

buying used cars help to curb spending habits 2007-08-29 11:51:01
Let’s be realistic. If you are financially unstable and trying hard to curb your spending habits
, you should look into ways to save as well. For instance, instead of buying a new car which you can hardly afford, consider used cars. Used cars can be just as good if you conduct proper research, get expert advice and choose carefully. If that’s what you need, hop over to AutoGuide.com, a site to help you select and buy used cars online. (more…)
time to shop for thanksgiving gifts 2007-08-29 00:50:27 Ahh… it’s time for a do up a gift list for the coming thanksgiving. Though thanksgiving is not observed with great importance for people who live outside the US, I personally think that this is a nice occasion to appreciate the people around us, especially our loved ones.
My DH is one person who doesn’t do much shopping and if you ask him what he likes, he will say ‘nothing’. Well, I think he may need something to keep the Hawaii sun away since we are heading down there this December. Since buying with coupons is a smart way to save, I usually start with some browsing on coupon codes on the web before making my purchases. Some of the best coupon deals are from Target coupons, which include $5 off $50 spent and free shipping for shoes purchase above $25.
As for mom, I may get her a nice diamond pendant from Blue Nile, one of my favourite jewelry store. Blue Nile coupons offer free shipping for all purchases and a savings of 20% on this Sterling Silver di
beer, pizza and Crumpler bags 2007-08-29 00:24:28 Have you guys heard of Crumpler bags from Australia? Well, it all started with beer and pizza… then came the idea of bags - what a great idea! The Crumpler logo was an attractive insignia that drew alot of attention and in no time, every motorbiker in Australia was carrying a Crumpler, which then became popular among the students and people with artistic influence. The company’s foray into the American didn’t go according as plan when it first begun but today, things are different.
I finally bought the Wee Bee for my MacBook Pro… after a close accident of it slipping onto the floor! Crumpler bags today are sought after by photographers, computer users, hikers, campers and everyone who likes to be hip and funky. Hop over to the cool website… it is one of the most artistic and funky one I have seen in the web… (crumpler.com.au)
how do you save money? 2007-08-28 21:38:10 Since I was a small girl, mom’s reminder to me was to be thrifty and learn how to save for those rainy days. Being a woman who is careful with her money, mom will make it a point to budget on a monthly basis and avoid buying things that we don’t necessary need. Though I wish I could be more obedient to her words, one of the best ways to save money is to work a budget spreadsheet for yourself, updated on a monthly basis. Keeping a budget means listing down your bills, mortgages, what you need for insurance and if you have any loans, that should be listed too. You should also allocate a reasonable amount for your food and personal expenses, transport and set aside an amount to save.
Keeping track of your expenditure makes you aware of your financial situation. With the advancement of computer technology, these things are made easy with word processing and simple accounting software. I use an excel spreadsheet to keep records of our household expenses and that helps to keep ou
colourful gourmet getaway for meals on the go 2007-08-28 21:27:04
This colourful Built NY Gourmet Getaway is a great companion for those meals on the go. Made of insulating neoprene material, this lightweight, cheerful tote keeps all your food and drinks cold for up to four hours. With more room than the Lunch Tote, this is a fun way to carry your meals, use it for a picnic or bring it to the beach. When not in use, it folds flat for storage when empty. To me, it serves well as a multi-purpose tote due to its attractive design and style… I may even carry it on my weekend grocery shopping. Read more:gourmet

do you believe in insurance? 2007-08-28 12:47:30 There is something I am always thankful for, that is, I don’t have to worry one bit about the home insurance
, utility bills, phone bills, car installment and the newspaper man for the house. While I take care of the parenting bit, cooking, laundry and household chores, DH takes care of all the above including renewing our car insurance. The only financial stuff I do on my own is to pay my own life insurance and my overseas banking matters. Whether you believe
in insurance or not, we do need to take it seriously. For instance, you can’t drive on the road unless your car insurance is renewed. You should insure your home in case of any accidents or mishaps or unfortunate events. As for life insurance, you should think about your loved ones and care for their wellbeing should something happen to you.

a stylish laptop sleeve for my Macbook Pro 2007-08-28 12:14:19
I have been looking around for a nice laptop sleeve for my MacBook Pro. The ones in the computer store are usually black and have big logos or ugly prints on them. When shopping for a laptop sleeve, always make sure that it’s water resistant, shock absorbent, durable, and washable by hand. Also, make sure it’s not adding too much weight to your laptop. I spotted this POPPY LAPTOP SLEEVE from a high risk life insurance magazine, designed by Tony Lu. This neoprene lapton sleeve is stylish, sleek, vibrant, cheerful and modernistic! Problem is it only fits up to 14″ and my MacBook Pro is 15″

for all your bathroom needs 2007-08-28 05:30:03 When one talks about remodeling the house, the bathroom
is an important area to work on. This includes choosing the Taps, showers, bathroom cabinet, sink, bath tubs, shower curtains and other accessories that will complement the theme and style of your house. Actually, this is one section of the house I enjoy working on. Choosing these bathroom accessories can be fun and exciting, as long as my beloved hubby doesn’t interfere with my selections
I am attracted to this basin mixer which is inspired of the Father of cubism, Pablo Picasso, also one of my favourite artists. You can tell it by the modern and cubic look.

Match it with this sleek ceramic cube basin and you have a designer bathroom without hiring an interior designer for the job.

silver metallic leather ballerina Camper 2007-09-02 05:20:56 It’s hard not to walk into a shoe shop when I’m on vacationing in an urban city. I recalled coming home with 5 pair of shoes on one of my Hong Kong trips… it was scary! But as I look through my shoe collection, I realize that I have not had a single pair of silver shoes. I heard from the sales staff in Marc Jacobs that silver is in this season and I have seen my silver ones out there. But somehow, I haven’t found one I truly like until I saw this ballerina one at Camper
… yea, I know you are going to say I’m biased! LOL.
will you splurge on Camper kids? 2007-09-02 05:06:58 Don’t ask me why but I just adore Camper
shoes especially the Twins collection. It is sad that both Camper shops (in Singapore and Malaysia) had made an exit after many attempts to create brand loyalty in this region. For Malaysia, a pair of Camper can cost up to RM600-RM800 so it is no surprise that only the avid fashionistas can afford a pair. Otherwise, wait for the sale period and you get a slash of 30-50% which I did previously. Camper made its way to Singapore way back in the mid 90s and been through a couple of management take overs. But last year, it closed its one and only store, leaving Camper fans like me to look elsewhere.
Camper kids was also launched and I spotted some of them in Club21 kids in Paragon Singapore on one of my trips back home. It’s a little extravagant to pay $85 for a pair of kids sandals though they are seriously unique looking and stylish on those little feet. I know the man in the house will never allow me to splurge one on my boy but he can
real time search engine is here! 2007-08-31 22:40:58 I cannot deny the power of search engines in the online world these days. All I need to do is to key in a keyword and Google takes me to pages and pages of results and searches. It works so well when I’m looking for resources and information on shopping, eco fashion, trends, beauty and just about anything else. The thing is most of these search engines present results that are not real time
which means they can be days, weeks or months old. But know what? A real time search engine is now here! (more…)
stylish laptop cases and bags 2007-09-26 01:58:48 I love the way Melissa Beth names her bag collection - Get off my case, Pocket full of puter, Sweet seventeen, Kiss and make up, Don’t Slouch…etc. She has a nice range of bags for both work and play, stylish laptop cases
, functional cases, weekend bags and even diaper bags for modern moms. Her creations have caught the interest of celebrities and press media which explains why you need to pay a little more for her bags. This Get Off My Case will help you stand out in that boring board meeting. It has a soft velour exterior, genuine leather trim and hip fabric pattern on the inside linings. But, this case is more than just being beautiful, it is interlined with foam and Teflon treated; hence, fashion meets function! ($175 at http://www.melissabeth.com)
